- Global options -v/-vv/-vvv, -q, --ansi/--no-ansi, -n and --env on every command; PeekGlobals reads them before config loads, OnGlobals hooks re-apply them after parsing (diary.ApplyGlobals in the generated main) - Bare binary, --help and list print the Artisan list with the version header from BuildVersion and namespace blocks - Execute runs the root through fang (no version, man page or completions) and returns 0, 1 or 2; Fail renders errors before the root exists - NewRoot rejects duplicate command names (ErrDuplicateCommand) and flags that reuse a global option (ErrReservedFlag) - Generated main and summer use PeekGlobals, compass.Open with --env, diary.FromGlobals and bonfire.Execute; docs checker knows the globals

# bonfire
|
|
|
|
Declarative console commands for the `summer` tool and application binaries, adapted to Cobra with typed input, prompts and styled output.
|
|
|
|
`import "git.golem15.com/golem15/summercms/modules/bonfire"`
|
|
|
|
**Name:** The evening fire where everyone gathers; the command line is where you sit down and fire off commands.
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
bonfire is the console layer of SummerCMS. Plugins and framework modules describe commands as plain `bonfire.Command` values (name, flags, arguments and a run function), and `bonfire.NewRoot` turns a slice of them into a Cobra root command. Commands never touch Cobra directly: they read arguments through `bonfire.Input` and write through `bonfire.Output`, which also provides tables, spinners, progress bars and interactive prompts. It is the counterpart of WinterCMS's artisan console commands (`registerConsoleCommand` and Laravel's `Illuminate\Console\Command` output helpers).
|
|
|
|
## Role in the framework
|
|
|
|
A base layer for console commands with no framework dependencies. `pact` uses it so plugins can contribute commands, and `lagoon`, `conga`, `cabana`, `lighthouse`, `flare` and `surf` build their own commands (migrate, workers, serve, admin tools) on it. Keeping it separate means every module describes commands the same way without depending on the CLI binary.
|
|
|
|
Use cases:
|
|
|
|
- Add a plugin command such as blog:import with typed arguments and options.
|
|
- Ask for confirmation or input interactively and print styled tables and progress.
|
|
- Ship operational commands (backfills, health checks) inside the same binary as the application.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- Command values with a description, positional arguments (`bonfire.Arg`) and string flags (`bonfire.Flag`), collected from plugins or the tool itself.
|
|
- Command name validation: plugin commands must use the `namespace:verb` form (for example `blog:import`); `build`, `dev`, `new`, `serve` and `migrate` are the only bare names accepted. Invalid names make `bonfire.NewRoot` fail with `bonfire.ErrCommandName`.
|
|
- Usage strings and argument-count checks derived from the declared arguments (`<name>` for required, `[name]` for optional).
|
|
- Scalar flags, bare flags (`bonfire.Flag.Bare`, so `--force` alone stores `true`) and ordered repeatable flags (`bonfire.Flag.Repeatable`, read back through `bonfire.Input.Flags`).
|
|
- Styled status lines: `bonfire.Output.Info`, `bonfire.Output.Success`, `bonfire.Output.Warning` and `bonfire.Output.Error` (the last one writes to the error stream).
|
|
- Widgets: box-drawn tables (`bonfire.Output.Table`), a spinner around a function (`bonfire.Output.Spinner`) and a progress bar (`bonfire.Output.Progress`); both fall back to plain lines when output is not a terminal.
|
|
- Prompts: `bonfire.Output.Ask`, `bonfire.Output.Confirm`, `bonfire.Output.Choice` and `bonfire.Output.Secret`, which reads a hidden value on a terminal. Prompts return their defaults when input ends, and `bonfire.Output.Confirm` returns its default without asking when the session is not interactive.
|
|
- Passthrough commands (`bonfire.Command.Passthrough`) skip flag parsing, so every argument, including `--help`, reaches `bonfire.Input.Args` unchanged; this suits commands that forward to another program. `bonfire.Command.Long` adds extended help text that the help command shows instead of the description.
|
|
- Artisan-style command list: a bare binary (or `--help`, or `list`) prints a version header (`bonfire.Version.Header`, read from the build information by `bonfire.BuildVersion`), the usage line, the global options and the commands, top-level names first and then one block per namespace, with aligned descriptions.
|
|
- Global options on every command: `-v`/`-vv`/`-vvv` (`--verbose`), `-q` (`--quiet`, implies `-n`), `--ansi`/`--no-ansi` (last wins), `-n` (`--no-interaction`) and `--env`. `bonfire.PeekGlobals` reads them from the raw arguments before the root exists, so the generated main can pick the configuration environment and the log verbosity before plugins boot; `bonfire.OnGlobals` hooks receive the parsed `bonfire.Globals` before every command runs (roots built by `bonfire.Call` run no hook).
|
|
- Exit codes: `bonfire.Execute` runs the root through fang and returns `bonfire.ExitOK`, `bonfire.ExitFailure`, or `bonfire.ExitUsage` for an unknown command or flag and a wrong number of arguments (`bonfire.UsageError`). Errors print as a block on the error stream (`bonfire.RenderError`); `bonfire.Fail` prints errors that happen before the root exists.
|
|
- Name checks at boot: two commands with the same name, or a command named `list` or `help`, make `bonfire.NewRoot` fail with `bonfire.ErrDuplicateCommand`; a command flag that reuses a global option's name or shorthand fails with `bonfire.ErrReservedFlag` instead of panicking.
|
|
- Injectable streams (`bonfire.NewRootIO`, `bonfire.NewOutput`) so commands can be tested against buffers.
|
|
- In-process calls: `bonfire.Call` runs a named command with arguments against any writer (Laravel `Artisan::call`), and `bonfire.Catalog` holds an application binary's final command list so code outside the Cobra root, such as the conga scheduler, can call any registered command.

## Usage
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
package main
|
|
|
|
import (
|
|
"context"
|
|
"os"
|
|
|
|
"git.golem15.com/golem15/summercms/modules/bonfire"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
func main() {
|
|
importPosts := bonfire.Command{
|
|
Name: "blog:import",
|
|
Description: "Import posts from a feed",
|
|
Args: []bonfire.Arg{{Name: "url", Description: "Feed URL", Required: true}},
|
|
Flags: []bonfire.Flag{
|
|
{Name: "dry-run", Description: "Report without writing", Bare: true},
|
|
{Name: "tag", Description: "Tag to apply (repeatable)", Repeatable: true},
|
|
},
|
|
Run: func(ctx context.Context, in bonfire.Input, out bonfire.Output) error {
|
|
url, _ := in.Argument("url")
|
|
_, dryRun := in.Flag("dry-run")
|
|
return out.Spinner("Importing "+url, func() error {
|
|
out.Table([]string{"Tag"}, [][]string{{"news"}})
|
|
if dryRun {
|
|
out.Warning("dry run: nothing written")
|
|
}
|
|
return nil
|
|
})
|
|
},
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
args := os.Args[1:]
|
|
g := bonfire.PeekGlobals(args)
|
|
root, err := bonfire.NewRoot("acme", []bonfire.Command{importPosts}, os.Stdout,
|
|
bonfire.WithVersion(bonfire.BuildVersion()))
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
os.Exit(bonfire.Fail(os.Stderr, "acme", err, g))
|
|
}
|
|
os.Exit(bonfire.Execute(context.Background(), root, args))
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Running a command in-process, with empty stdin so prompts take their defaults:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
catalog := bonfire.NewCatalog(commands)
|
|
if catalog.Has("blog:import") {
|
|
err := catalog.Call(ctx, "blog:import", []string{"--dry-run", "https://example.com/feed"}, os.Stdout)
|
|
if errors.Is(err, bonfire.ErrUnknownCommand) {
|
|
// not registered in this binary
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## API reference
|
|
|
|
| Identifier | Description |
|
|
|------------|-------------|
|
|
| `bonfire.Command` | A console command: name, description, optional extended help (`bonfire.Command.Long`), flags, arguments, the `bonfire.Command.Passthrough` switch that hands every argument to Run unparsed, and the `bonfire.Command.Run` function. |
|
|
| `bonfire.Flag` | A string flag; `bonfire.Flag.Bare` allows the flag without a value, `bonfire.Flag.Repeatable` makes it an ordered multi-value flag. |
|
|
| `bonfire.Arg` | A positional argument with a name, description and required marker. |
|
|
| `bonfire.Input` | Parsed view handed to `bonfire.Command.Run`: `bonfire.Input.Args`, `bonfire.Input.Argument`, `bonfire.Input.Flag` and `bonfire.Input.Flags`. |
|
|
| `bonfire.Output` | Injected console: printing, status lines, tables, spinner, progress bar and prompts. |
|
|
| `bonfire.Progress` | A progress bar advanced from inside `bonfire.Output.Progress`. |
|
|
| `bonfire.NewRoot` | Builds the Cobra root command for a binary from a slice of commands, using the process stdin, with the global options, the `list` command and the command list on a bare call; takes `bonfire.RootOption` values. When the output is the process stdout, the error block goes to stderr. |
|
|
| `bonfire.NewRootIO` | `bonfire.NewRoot` with injected stdin, stdout and stderr. |
|
|
| `bonfire.RootOption` | An option of `bonfire.NewRoot` and `bonfire.NewRootIO`. |
|
|
| `bonfire.WithVersion` | Sets the `bonfire.Version` shown in the list header; without it the root reads `bonfire.BuildVersion`. |
|
|
| `bonfire.OnGlobals` | Registers a function that receives the parsed `bonfire.Globals` before every command of the root runs. |
|
|
| `bonfire.Globals` | The global options: `Verbosity` (0 to 3), `Quiet`, `Color` (a `bonfire.ColorMode`), `NoInteraction` and `Env`. |
|
|
| `bonfire.PeekGlobals` | Reads `bonfire.Globals` from raw arguments without failing; stops at `--`. |
|
|
| `bonfire.Globals.Args` | Turns `bonfire.Globals` back into flags (`-vv`, `-q`, `-n`, `--ansi` or `--no-ansi`, `--env=<value>`) for forwarding. |
|
|
| `bonfire.Version` | Application and framework versions of a binary (`App`, `Framework`, `Local`). |
|
|
| `bonfire.BuildVersion` | Reads the `bonfire.Version` from the binary's build information. |
|
|
| `bonfire.Version.Header` | The list header: `SummerCMS acme v1.4.0 (framework v0.3.2)`. |
|
|
| `bonfire.Execute` | Runs a root with arguments through fang and returns the exit code; prints the list when no command is given. |
|
|
| `bonfire.Fail` | Renders an error that happened before the root exists and returns `bonfire.ExitFailure`. |
|
|
| `bonfire.ExitOK`, `bonfire.ExitFailure`, `bonfire.ExitUsage` | The exit codes 0, 1 and 2. |
|
|
| `bonfire.RenderError` | Writes an error as the console error block. |
|
|
| `bonfire.UsageError` | Marks a usage mistake (exit code 2); `bonfire.Usage` wraps an error in it. |
|
|
| `bonfire.Usage` | Wraps an error as a `bonfire.UsageError`. |
|
|
| `bonfire.ErrDuplicateCommand` | Returned by `bonfire.NewRoot` when two commands share a name or a command is named `list` or `help`. |
|
|
| `bonfire.ErrReservedFlag` | Returned by `bonfire.NewRoot` when a command flag reuses a global option's name or shorthand. |
|
|
| `bonfire.NewOutput` | Builds a `bonfire.Output` over the given streams, applying the terminal and color policy. |
|
|
| `bonfire.ErrCommandName` | Returned when a plugin command name is not in `namespace:verb` form. |
|
|
| `bonfire.Call` | Runs one command of a slice by exact name with arguments, writing output to a writer; stdin is empty. |
|
|
| `bonfire.ErrUnknownCommand` | Returned by `bonfire.Call` when no command has the name. |
|
|
| `bonfire.Catalog` | An immutable copy of a binary's command list; the generated app main publishes one on the app. |
|
|
| `bonfire.NewCatalog` | Builds a `bonfire.Catalog` from a command slice. |
|
|
| `bonfire.ColorMode` | How console output decides on color: `bonfire.ColorAuto` (terminal and environment), `bonfire.ColorAlways` or `bonfire.ColorNever`. |
|
|
| `bonfire.Palette` | The console styles (`Success`, `Current`, `Warning`, `Error`, `ErrorBold`, `Muted`, `Header`), shared with the `diary` console log lines. |
|
|
| `bonfire.DefaultPalette` | Returns the palette ported from SSU's status styles: green success, cyan current, yellow warning, red and bold red errors, gray muted text, bold headers. |
|
|
| `bonfire.DetectProfile` | Returns the color profile for a writer under a `bonfire.ColorMode`, honouring `NO_COLOR`, `TERM=dumb` and `FORCE_COLOR`; render palette styles through a `colorprofile.Writer` with it. |
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
bonfire reads no config keys. Output color follows these environment variables:
|
|
|
|
| Variable | Effect |
|
|
|----------|--------|
|
|
| `NO_COLOR` | Any non-empty value disables color. |
|
|
| `TERM` | The value `dumb` disables color. |
|
|
| `FORCE_COLOR` | Any non-empty value enables color even when output is not a terminal (ignored when color is disabled by `NO_COLOR` or `TERM`). |
|
|
|
|
Without these variables, color is enabled only when stdout is a terminal.
|
|
|
